Jell-O Girls: A Family History by Allie Rowbottom

4.0

What a weird book - I really liked it, but I could see others not feeling as strongly. Equal parts tragic/gothic family history and the history of Jell-o/the women's movement in the 20th century, this was strange and off-putting but in a way that appealed to me deeply. Rowbottom is a punchy writer, and her tutelage under Maggie Nelson makes a lot of sense.
